Bathtub Pirates

Mom could you please 
warm these waters up
Yo ho ho 
and a tub full of suds 

Pirates in the making 
on their personal high sea 
Don't dare pull the plug 
on this Caribbean dream

There's treasure they know 
in the depths down below 
They saw it when it sank 
in mid bathtime flow 

Send the divers in
to this porcelain surf
Holding their breath as long as they can 
for all they are worth

They'll come away from this 
if nothing else, clean 
Where in tomorrow night's bath
they'll set sail once again

A couple muddy bathtub buddies 
sailing on a sea of suds
In a life filled with adventure 
because there's never enough

Working with children, I have had to bathe many bathtime buddies. You have captured a child's fabulous imagination in this write, I love it.
